Can someone for love of God ask about Vline reliability and time improvement from Geelong to Melbourne? Also is he going to match Opposition proposals of Electrifying Melbourne west train line?

u/Excellent-Smell-4160 4d ago

100% this. The train to Melbourne is slow and unreliable. Spend the money fixing that to take cars off the road.

Brother of Tom?

u/might_think_Im_crazy 4d ago

About the Bellarine Ring Road maybe??

u/Seenthemoviechef 4d ago

Yeah he was at Barwon heads road talking about the intersection upgrade

u/maycontainsultanas 4d ago

Can you keep him over there please?

u/Alarmed-Foot-7490 4d ago

Where?

u/Seenthemoviechef 4d ago

Charlemont rise area at the intersection at Barwon heads road, gone now.

Please tell me ppl are not stupid enough to buy into his bullshit and vote Labor again

u/notasgr 4d ago

The problem is the alternatives are not much chop either. People are often voting for the least worst option.

u/jewfishcartel 4d ago

They are and they will. 

u/GregLocock 4d ago

Oh, they are and they will. I do have some sympathy, the Victorian Libs are pretty much broken other than Jess and their last few gigs on the front benches weren't exactly transformational, and ON is probably unelectable (tho I suspect the protest vote element will be high).

u/FairAd9550 4d ago

Sadly, plenty of people are stupid enough. Look at your downvotes

u/Oomemango 3d ago

Chickens for KFC, Gays for Gaza, Victorians for Labor etc

u/sweeroy 4d ago

as opposed to what, non performative recordings?

u/Seenthemoviechef 4d ago

Bro literally got a dozer to pull up and start moving earth like work was happening and then it left right after the cameras stopped.

u/Slow-pigeon895 4d ago

Makes you wonder who paid for the dozer. Wouldn't be cheap

u/Seenthemoviechef 4d ago

Yeah nah definitely cost to get that thing out there

u/Slow-pigeon895 4d ago

There would be float and generally a 4 hour minimum. Definitely hope it's the Labor party picking up the tab

u/sweeroy 4d ago

do you want to call the cops or should i?

u/Alarmed-Foot-7490 4d ago

Is that not performative as? and honestly I find it pretty dishonest considering people would assume construction has started and would continue?
